Note
: Samples 28 and 29 are prepared at levels of 2 and 3 for all factors listed.
Tables 3.5(a) and 3.5(b) show the S/N response along with factors engaged in
our experiment. Based on the S/N computed for each factor and level, S/N response
graphs are constructed and presented in figures 3.14 through 3.16. From our analysis,
the strong effects and elements to be considered are listed in table 3.6. In figure
3.17, comparisons of 29 manufactured samples based on the Taguchi method (two
added, sample 28 and sample 29, all level 2 and level 3, respectively) establish that
the force was compiled against the baseline condition (sample 28). It is clear that
the results allow one to optimize such a complicated bath process to produce much
larger blocking forces that can be utilized for practical actuation applications.
Another interesting point is a relationship between the measured surface resistance
and platinum particle penetration within the polymer matrix. In figure 3.18, the mea-
sured surface resistances of 29 samples are plotted against platinum penetration. The
